[1969.0015] Consolidated Papers of James William Barrett

Description

IdentifierUMA-ACE-19690015Extent31 BoxesLinear Meteragenot specifiedScope and ContentPrivate business papers 1891-1946; correspondence; articles by Barrett and others; newspaper clippings relating to medicine and public health 1882-1942; the British Empire (Council of Combined Empire Societies, Royal Empire Society etc.) 1912-1938, the Pan-Pacific Association 1921-1928, the Japan Association 1922-1928, the Japan- Australia Society 1935, the National Parks Association and other conservation bodies 1909-1942, the University of Melbourne 1908-1942.ArrangementThis listing brings together two accessions of Barrett (69/15) & (75/22).
Past work on the collection has attempted to recreate the original working order of the Barrett papers, but as is evidenced in Barrett’s box file indexes (17/15 – 17/17) his files, their numbering, order and contents
were constantly being rearranged. Some box files contain at least six numbers crossed out.
The series in this collection has been artificially imposed by the archivist, after a decision was made to arrange the collection into functional groups
with the aim of maintaining the integrity of Barrett’s ordering (Imperial, Societies and Medical) but without trying to recreate it.
All references to Barrett box file numbering have been retained.
The collection has been listed to the file level only. All items are files unless otherwise stated as being a volume, certificate or other format.Collection CategoryUniversity, individualsAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this AccessionSearch within this Accession
